History

<h2>The 26th Amendment lowered the voting age from 21 to 18.</h2>

Context/details:

Faster means of communication pushed the progress of the 26th Amendment.  This was seen in the protest movements going on during the 1960s, leading up to 1971 when the 26th Amendment was passed by Congress and ratified by the states.  Protests against the Vietnam War were active on college campuses across the country, with communication between students and media reports being a big part of the story.  Part of those protests were the demands of young people chanting, "Old enough to fight, old enough to vote."  Since 18 was old enough to be drafted to fight in the war, young people argued for their right to vote as full citizens.

The 26th Amendment was passed by Congress on March 23, 1971.  It was ratified by the states faster than any other amendment, achieving ratification by July 1, 1971.

The 26th Amendment is worded as follows:  

  • <em>Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.</em>
  • <em>Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.</em>

Apush briefly explain one important difference between the economic systems of the north and the south in the period 1790-1840
Harlamova29_29 [7]

One important difference between the economic systems of the north and the south in the period 1790-1840 was Industrialization and Immigration.


Basically, the slave economy of the south supported agriculture, while the free society in the North facilitated industrialization. By the mid-1800s, less than 10 percent of the United States' industrial capacity was located in the South, whereas the North was responsible for the production of 97 percent of the country's firearms and 93 percent of its pig iron… 80 percent of the South population worked on the farms, whereas only 40 percent of the North were employed in agriculture.


The job opportunities created by industrialization in the North served as a major attraction to European immigrants, which led to building major cities in the North. By the mid-1800s, the population of the North was about 23 million while the South's population was around nine million.
